Confucius
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by
reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which
is easiest; and third by experience, which is the
bitterest.
-- Chinese philosopher & reformer (551 BC - 479 BC)
Introductory Remarks
Contemporary China is a Pandora’s box of
surprises, mysteries, and contradictions. A Chinese
born and U.S. naturalized middle-aged woman once
remarked to me: “Life is hard in China.” Is it?
Perhaps. Devastating earthquakes, chemical spills,
diseases (SARs/Swine flu), competition for jobs,
corruption, education, quality of life, rural/urban
conflict, ethnic strife, growing wealth inequality,
government intervention and control, political
movements, and more typify life in China today.
Some Facts & Geography!

China World Trade Center
Beijing, China

Jinan (5.6 million) in Shandong
Province (91 million)
Shanghai
Unlike many cities in China with long and varied
histories, Shanghai's history is quite short. The British
opened a concession in Shanghai after the first Opium
War and ignited Shanghai's evolution. Once a small
fishing village on the edge of the muddy Huang Pu
River, it has become one of the world's most modern
and sophisticated cities.
